As FNM took the stage, it was looking like casual Thursday
(according to Bottum) as the guys sported shorts and t-shirts as opposed to
looking debonair in their usual suit attire. Patton had a police jacket on that
was taken off early and thankfully. There were no beautiful flowers on stage.
No gimp! Whaaaa? Just a lot of instruments, sneakers and sweat. The entire band
was in good spirits. It was weird for everyone. It was glorious madness. Patton
crowd surfed many times and ended up on the bar in the back with,
unfortunately, a shot of Jack Daniels. Almost the entire Sol Invictus album was
played along with highlight “Be Aggressive” and after a band meeting, ending
with “As The Worm Turns.”

On the set list, it said they were going to close with
“Epic” and “From out of nowhere”, but by the time they finished “Worm”, the
band and pretty much everyone in the room knew that this show, this
motherfucking magical moment in time, was already epic enough and they decided
to cut it short and cut everyone loose from this dizzying, electrical shock
that was this secret show of theirs.

You know, these days there’s a lot of talk of artistry in
music or the lack there of and I never once saw Faith No More being mentioned
by other artists or in those articles. And I know, they don’t give a rats ass
about it, but in all honesty, we should.
